Former UFC talent War Machine
had been scheduled to face off with Amoussou at the event, which
emanates from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and airs on
MTV2 and Epix. However, as Sherdog.com initially reported on
Friday, the welterweight was replaced by Lozano due to legal
issues.

Saunders, 28, recently fought his way to the finals of Bellator’s
fifth-season tournament, falling by knockout to Douglas
Lima on Nov. 11. “Killa B” has won four of his last five fights
since departing the UFC in 2010.

Known as “Smash Mode,” Amaya has yet to taste defeat as a
professional, rattling off nine consecutive victories in Florida’s
Art of Fighting promotion. The 26-year-old has finished all nine of
his career victims, submitting six and knocking out three.

Foster has overcome well-documented injuries to make his
Bellator debut and rides a four-fight winning streak heading
into Bellator 63. Foster posted a 3-2 record during his time with
the UFC, notching wins over Matt Brown,
Forrest
Petz and Brock
Larson.

Like Amaya, Rickels has yet to lose as a pro, earning wins in each
of his nine career outings. A three-time Bellator veteran, “The
Caveman” most recently submitted Levi Avera
with a triangle choke at
Bellator 53 on Oct. 8.

Baker, 26, has knocked out half of his conquered foes. “The Beast”
fought his way to the Season 5 middleweight tournament semifinals
in 2011 only to be knocked out swiftly at
Bellator 54 by Vitor
Vianna.

Shooto's
183-pound South American champion, Pereira, 32, was expected to
debut with Bellator this past fall. However, that appearance never
materialized. Instead, the Brazilian, who has won 15 of his last 17
fights, will make his inaugural Bellator effort in the Season 6
welterweight tournament.

Lozano has won three of his last four bouts, fighting his way to
the Season 5 semifinals before having his lights turned out by
eventual tournament victor Douglas
Lima. “The Cleveland Assassin” holds notable career wins over
Brent
Weedman, Yoshiyuki
Yoshida and Jason
Dent.

Amoussou rebounded from a setback in his Bellator debut against
Sam
Alvey to knock out Jesus
Martinez in his most recent outing at
Bellator 59. Amoussou, 26, is an M-1 Challenge veteran and owns
seven of his 13 career wins by submission.
